WINDOW-GUARD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 661,772, dated November 13, 1900.

Application filed September 13, 1900l Serial No. 29,886. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom it may con/cern:

Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH SoHMELzLE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Guards, of 'which the following is a specifica-tion.

This invention relates to an adjustable window-guard of novel construction, which may be folded up at either side of the window or may be entirely removed therefrom.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of my improved windowguard. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line 2 2, Fig. l; Fig. 3, a plan, partly in section, of the guard; Fig. 4, an elevation, partly in section, of the upper guard-rail; and Fig. ,-a vertical section of the guard, taken on the line 5 5, Fig. 3. Figs. l and 2 are drawn on a 'smaller scale than the remaining-figures.

Each of the horizontal rails of the guard is composed of a pair of horizontal rods a, which are bent at their outer end, as at a', and are telescoped at their inner end by a tubular sleeve b. This sleeve is longitudinally slotted at its center for a portion of its length, as at b', Fig. 4, so as to receive a pair of stop-pins a2, projecting from rods a., andswhich limit The upable points by pivoted pales c, thedrawings showing two of such pales, though a greater number may obviously be employed. The outer ends of the rods ct are pivotally connected at each side of the window to a coinmon slide e, which is received within a slotted casing f, attached to the window-'frame A. By sliding the rods cout of the tubes b to a greater or less extent the guard Iis fitted to the window, and then the slides e are slipped into the casings f to securely lock the guard in position. By moving the 'proper slide e upward the guard may be folded either against `the right or left side of the window, while by withdrawing both slides it may be readily detached altogether.

What I claim is- In a window-guard, the combination of bent horizontal rods with tubes telescoping the iu-` ner ends of said rods, means for limiting the movement of therods, pales pivoted to the tubes, slides connecting the outer ends of the rods, and slotted casings adapted to receive the slides,'substantially as specified.
